Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-08-08 09:09:25 UTC
Section '3.2. Preparing a Satellite-registered system for the upgrade' of the docs, Procedure step 3:
Enable and synchronize all required RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 repositories on the Satellite Server with the latest updates for the source and target OS versions.

`x86_64 8 or `

Instead of:

`x86_64 `

As an example, in case the Satellite registered host is 8.6, if the generic `8` version of the repository is selected, when the host performs the release set (section 3.1 step 5) it will fail with an error:

# subscription-manager release --set 8.6
No releases match '8.6'.  Consult 'release --list' for a full listing.

This might work if the host is registered to the CDN but it won't with Satellite.

Comment 1 Riccardo Furlan 2023-08-08 09:12:44 UTC
For some reason the text in the <> tags disappeared in the direct feedback form, adding the complete text:

Section '3.2. Preparing a Satellite-registered system for the upgrade' of the docs, Procedure step 3:
Enable and synchronize all required RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 repositories on the Satellite Server with the latest updates for the source and target OS versions.

`x86_64 8 or <source_os_version>`

Instead of:

`x86_64 <source_os_version>`

As an example, in case the Satellite registered host is 8.6, if the generic `8` version of the repository is selected, when the host performs the release set (section 3.1 step 5) it will fail with an error:

# subscription-manager release --set 8.6
No releases match '8.6'.  Consult 'release --list' for a full listing.

This might work if the host is registered to the CDN but it won't with Satellite.
